Software :: DigiKam: Pictures Disappear After Using Batch Rename?
Jan 17, 2010
I selected 10 photos and used the batch rename feature (Batch -> Rename Images). Once I had the settings set and accepted the changes, the tool successfully renamed all 10 photos. The problem is I can't see them in digiKam anymore. It's just an empty album. When I navigated to the folder using Dolphin, all the pictures were still there and they were properly renamed. Back in digiKam, it's just an empty folder. I tried moving the photos to a different directory and then adding that folder to digiKam, but it still showed up as an empty folder.
I don't know what to do. How can I get this app to see my pictures again?
Running openSuSE 11.1 and Digikam 1.1.0 under KDE 4.4.1 with most recent updates as of today. I started digikam and all settings are still in place and database file exists same as always. All subcollections in the albums show zero pictures. Opening file manager shows all contents exists.
I have files whose names look like this:Sim1-2_40.36.chr20_sb.foo.indel.novoalign.samSim1-2_40.36.chr20_sb.foo.indel.bwa.samWhat I want to do is to replace all indel with snp in the namesyieldingSim1-2_40.36.chr20_sb.foo.snp.novoalign.samSim1-2_40.36.chr20_sb.foo.snp.bwa.samBut why this unix command doesn't work
I have a bunch of photos with varying names. I want to give each photo a random name(*), how do I do that? (*)I'm going to put them on a digital photo-frame that can't shuffle
I have about 300 files that need renaming, because the file system does not display the French characters properly. The dodgy letter in question has been replaced by a "question mark in a black diamond" symbol.No way of renaming, other then using mv in the Konsole has worked. Is there any way, script or program out there, that will do a batch rename?
I have quite a few sound sample files totaling over 4 gigs in size with around 80 root folders and then around 34 sub folders. i have a total of 13 DVD's in the above format. how do i "change the date" on all files in one go is that possible?
possible to rename a list of files in batch in order to maintain the last part of them, then purge a central section and then again maintain the extension?I.E.:
Running Ubuntu 10.10 along side Windows7 on a 64-bit HP Pavilion dv7 Laptop. Everything works in Windows. Everything works in Ubuntu, except for 2 things.1) I can live with not being able to enable/disable wifi.) I cannot read photos from an SD card plugged into the laptops SD card reader. When I open the SD card in Ubuntu, I can see the file name, but the thumbnails show messed up pictures. Usually, the bottom half of the photo is solid green, and there are usually lines running through the photo, or it is divided into quadrants with one quadrant being ok, but the rest having the green and/or lines.I assume the driver for the card reader is not correct. Card reader works fine in Windows. So I have to reboot into windows, copy pictures from reader to a folder, then reboot into Ubuntu and I can see and open the photos just fine. Just cannot read and copy them from the card while in Ubuntu.
How would I rename all files with a leading decimal point recursivley? I some how got all my music files to have a decimal point.I tried the below and got a " sed argument to long".[CODE]find /media/MUSIC -type f -name "*.wma" | xargs -0 sed -i 's/.(.*)/1/'[CODE]
Another question, can i just use -type f with out -name ? I am sure that all the files got the decimal point added as the first character.
I'm running opensuse 11.3 with KDE 4.5.1 and Digikam 1.4.0. In Dolphin I use ffmpegthumbnailer to produce thumbnails of videos and I like how it works.
My question is how do I get Digikam 1.4 to use ffmpegthumbnailer instead of mplayerthumbnailer?
I wonder if there is an option to select one set of dups to erase. So far i think you can only delete individual images, which might take a long time. Is there any other way to speed deletion a bit? I checked the manual, but it doesn't talk a lot of it. Or is there by any chance another add on?
Currently trying to use digikam on Suse 11.3. Databases digikam4.db and thumbnails digikam.db to not seem to exist on the original download nor anywhere I can find from trusted sources. Is there hope or should I look for another photo application?
i'm happy ubuntu 10.10 users with macubuntu installed but again i'm almost a novice i would like to install digikam i read it's the best photo organizer under ubuntu software download i type digikam but did not found
in this page there are 6 download[URL]..but i don't know the differents between them.i got 32bit system with 4gb should i enable the swap file to run digikam faser?
I've got digiKam installed from SlackBuilds.org and generally speaking it works perfectly.
But if you look at this screenshot [URL] you can see there's no icons!!! I expected to have icons down the left and right-hand side of the screens but there's nothing there! If I hover my mouse the tool tips pop-up and I can see what's actually there.
There's also errant HTML code showing up, like in the middle of the screen where it says Rotate Left and Rotate Right. I've seen HTML codes (like <br/>) on other places too.
I'm running Slackware64 v13.1 with a pretty much full install, except KDE, KDEI, XAP, and Y (games). The first time I tried to build & install digiKam it failed and I had to install the kdelibs-4.4.3 and kdegraphics-4.4.3 packages (I did it via slackpkg). After it worked, some optional dependencies were missing - but I gotta believe those icons were not optional!
A lot of people have been waiting for Digikam 2 since quite some time. The final release was made on 31/07, but now I am wondering how to install this on Ubuntu? I searched for it but could only find one thread: [URL]. This does not work for me, it only installs Digikam 1.9.
i'm using Fedora 13 and i have a digital camera Canon IXUS 870 IS. When i plugged that camera on USB port automatically starting DIGIKAM. If possible change from DIGIKAM to a file manager as Konqueror or Dolphin? how to doing it, because DIGIKAM is very, very slow.
digikam doesn't start ~/.kde4 has been reset tried to copy ~/.kde4previous/*/*digikam* to .kde4 related paths running from console: riccardo@homeSUSE:~> digikam digikam: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib64/libdigikamcore.so.1: undefined symbol: _ZN6Marble12MarbleWidget11changeEventEP6QEvent
I would like to disable the action that says "Download photos with digiKam" in KDE4 when inserting a storage-device such as a USB Stick. I have played around with the Device Action settings and the rule Download photos with digiKam but with no success.I have tried to set..
"All of the contained conditions must match" "The device's property StorageVolume.igonerd" -> true "The device's property StorageVolume.fsType" -> dummy
i run right now digikam and rebuild my thumbnails. It seems like that this task takes a lot of cpu power and its not digikam itself, rather xorg takes the load. Is this right? I just wonder.
I attempted to install the latest version of Digikam, v1.6, by connecting the Factory repository , then an upgrade via YAST. It automagically included upgrade of certain kde4 packages to v2.5.80.
System ran OK for a while, then I got a Plasma Desktop Shell crash notice and now cannot restart X. I can boot to level 3. I upgraded all the kde components to 2.5.80, but that did not help.
Has anyone successfully done this? Was there a hidden secret to success?
If all else fails, am I correct that Code: zypper dist-upgrade --from #kde45 repository will return my system to kde 4.5.4 ?
In F-Spot there's this nice function that shows a slideshow of all your photos as a screensaver. Since I've abandoned F-Spot in favor of Digikam URL...I was wondering if there is a way to do something similar in Digikam.
I can't get digikam to work at all on 10.04, it never pass from reading my pictures folder, usually stops in any folder and crashes after sometime.
Here's what shows at the terminal:
Quote: Warning: Exif IFD NikonPreview not encoded Warning: Exif tag Exif.NikonPreview.JPEGInterchangeFormatLength not encoded Warning: Exif IFD NikonPreview not encoded Warning: Exif tag Exif.NikonPreview.JPEGInterchangeFormatLength not encoded Warning: Exif IFD NikonPreview not encoded <unknown>: Fatal IO error 9 (Bad file descriptor) on X server :0.0. KCrash: Application 'digikam' crashing... sock_file=/home/fernando/.kde/socket-fernando-desktop/kdeinit4__0 kdeinit4: preparing to launch /usr/lib/kde4/libexec/drkonqi [1]+ Stopped digikam fernando@fernando-desktop:~$
The warning lines are repeated over and over again, so I just pasted the last ones. I've searched this forums and google about it but found no one with the exact similar issue. Can anyone help me out? Digikam always worked fine for my on my older installations. If I cancel the database reading, digikam will work as it should but obviously without all the photos on my folder.
I have been organizing some of my photos and as a KDE user I have installed Digikam. The installation works fine, but when I load Digikam it does not show all of the photo albums in /home/darren/pictures and those albums that it does list have no photos in them. Also my requirements are fairly limited I use GIMP to do any editing. But need to be able upload to Picasa.
I installed the PinguyOS version of Maverick, but even after disabling all the repositories that came with it I still couldn't get this to work. Therefore this must be a problem with Ubuntu 10.10 itself, however if this problem does exist is Ubuntu, I'm surprised these forums are flooded with complaints. I've searched them up and down and I found nothing. Anyway, the problem is that I can't install digikam, this is the error I get: The following packages have unmet dependencies.
digikam : Depends: kdebase-runtime but it is not going to be installed Depends: kdepim-runtime but it is not going to be installed Depends: libkde3support4 (>= 4:4.4.4) but it is not going to be installed Depends: libqt4-qt3support (>= 4:4.5.3) but it is not going to be installed Recommends: kipi-plugins but it is not going to be installed E: Broken packages
The problem here seems to be that the kde libraries that come with ubuntu are version 4.5 for everything. And it seems digikam 1.4 is built against kde 4.4.
Best way to handle my photo collection, and though I love Picasa a great deal, I got tired of having to go through all 15,000 of my photos and retag them whenever I restored my computer from backups (which happened twice in the past year). I am now using Digikam, which I prefer because it saves tags and all that kind of info to the image file metadata. I would like to stick with Digikam exclusively but for one thing: the plugin that should allow me to e-mail photos is not working.
When I go to Image => Email Image and select "Gmail Agent", the result is "Failed to start "gmailagent" program. Check your system." Not sure what to check or where. I have also tried to use the Evolution option to mail photos, but I have never been able to figure out how to use an e-mail client; I have always used webmail. Perhaps it's not even possible to use Evolution to manage Gmail? Dunno. Not my primary concern.
I would gladly ask Digikam support about this, but after creating a new Bugzilla account for the purpose, it continues to tell me my login name is invalid. Maybe later. I am running Lucid with Ubuntu Studio on a dual core HP G61 laptop.
I have a laptop configured with 2 partitions. The file ( Ubuntu ) partition which is about 30GB and a second 'data' partition of about 100 GB. On this data partition, I save all my digital photos ( about 20 GB ).When I installed Digikam, it seemed to compile its database on the smaller partition and left me with no space and error messages because of it.I managed to get rid of Digikam and regain space.Is there any way, I can re-install Digikam and stop it doing this ?
Wasn't sure were to put this go here goes.When I plug in my Canon Powershot Digikam starts up, which is great. But... when I plug in my iPod Touch to recharge Digikam also starts up, how can I put a stop to the latter?
I just used sbopkg to download and compile Digikam 1.0.0 from slackbuilds.org. But compilation stops with an error regarding "png loader". I guess this has to do with the libpng issue mentioned in the changelog.
Nevertheless: Has anyone been able to compile Digikam on the latest Slackware64-current?
I have my photos in digikam, separated out into various folders. I use the timeline view or the tag view to show just a subset of photos, where the photos are scattered across different folders. Then I want to take those photos and make copies of them onto somewhere else outside of digikam's control, like a USB stick or an external drive or even just another folder. I do not want to change the photos which are in digikam, and I don't want to lose the folder information, tags etc.
I select the photos I want, and choose "Edit"->"Copy". But in my file manager Caja there is no "Paste" command available. I guess that Digikam has copied them into a KDE clipboard and Caja can't find them.
I can drag them into another folder of digikam, and that offers me a pop menu - do I want to move or copy? I can also cancel this if I realise it's not what I want to do.
I can also drag them to Caja, but then I have to be really careful. If I just let go (expecting the move/copy prompt), then it just goes right ahead and moves the pictures out of digikam, which is absolutely awful. The photos are gone from digikam, I lose what folders they were in, I lose what tags they had, and there's no confirmation. I have to spend ages moving the photos back where they came from, trying really hard not to lose any, and even then the tags are gone. I guess the file timestamps are destroyed too but I guess that's not so important. It's just a difficult task depending on how many photos there were and how many different folders, and how jumbled the filenames were.
Ok, so now I know that I have to hold the Ctrl key down when I drag, but still the mouse can accidentally let go before I press the key (I can only press the Ctrl after I start dragging, otherwise it deselects the photo I drag with).
The whole thing just seems fragile and error-prone, and there must be a way to make this less painful.
Maybe I can use something other than caja which handles the drop bit of the drag-and-drop better?
Maybe I can configure digikam to temporarily "lock" the photo database to prevent any accidental changes to the files?
Maybe I can configure digikam to confirm before moving files like this, so I can say "cancel"? (I already have "confirm when moving to wastebin" and "confirm when permanently deleting")
Maybe there's another mechanism for copy/paste from digikam to the file system which is more reliable? Some kind of export with a plain copy?
Failing any of those, is there any separate tool to search through a tree of photos, select those from a given timerange, and copy them to somewhere else? Either keeping the original folder structure or flattening it?
